DjT / Rupublican campaign goal for November 3, 2020:
persuade the majority of voters to stay home and ‘throw the fight’ so that they can continue ‘going into the tank’ for their own and putin’s benefit.

Voters must consider that the choice is between providing approval of DjT’s excesses and his nascent dictatorship with our silence and inaction as “Rupublicans” want
or
using the power of the Constitution to voice our disapproval through a process agreeing on articles of impeachment (if not conviction)
as well as
voting him and his servile enablers out of office on November 3, 2020.

The Constitution, our Republic’s foundational document made relevant only by the will of the American people and their elected representatives.

The chief justice needs to stop what McConnell is clearly doing. He’s gonna bote the witnesses to death and probably crank the heat up in the room and hold 12 + hour sessions. That sounds like jailhouse interrogation tactics

I’m confused, on one hand, McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Collins kept saying that it is a Dem’s partisan impeachment while GOP saying/doing things more partisan than Dems; On the other hand, GOP said that Dems will take serious damage from the impeachment but McConnell planned it as short as possible, Is he the secret democratic party’s helper to help Dems to avoid the possible big damage to the Democrat party in the future? What they said/did doesn’t hold water.

No full, fair and complete impeachment trial is the completion of Donald J. Trump’s lifelong subversion of everything to do with decensy, morality, ethics, honesty, rightiousness, rule of law.
The icing on the cake would be if this gangster were to be reelected. If so, the expression ‘like man, like state’ will have met its true meaning.
America is on the verge of civil war.

We the People do have a responsibility and a say in this: We must raise the Voice of the People NOW. We make our Voice relentless by sheer number when we ask our friends and families to do the same. We must convey our stance on impeachment and a fair Senate Hearing-complete with witnesses and document evidence IN THE FULL VIEW AND HEARING OF THE PEOPLE!
We can call the offices of our reps, along with our, “reps,” to convey our stance. US Senate 202-225-3121. US House 202-224-3121, main DC numbers. We can also use the direct DC numbers or the numbers of our reps’ home state offices.
